Let’s face it, in this day and age, prioritising reading to our children can be a challenge. We will often neglect what we don’t prioritize. And book reading is often neglected because it fails to be a priority.
Creating a special space or time for reading to our children will help to exercise their (and our) minds. It helps kids calm down and relax, opening new doors of knowledge and creating better cognitive skills. Reading is good for everyone, not only children or young adults. Here are 7 benefits to reading:
- Reading improves vocabulary
- Better comprehension
- Develops critical thinking skills
- Improves memory
- Builds confidence
- Broadens horizons
- Improves focus and concentration
- Readers are leaders
Reading is therefore a rich source of inspiration and growth. It has so many benefits and is a great way to bond with your loved ones. Why not create a fun reading space for your child in your home by adding a Moiks Book Ledge? Little ones can access interesting books at their fingertips and at it looks incredibly stylish too.
Placement of your shelf is of the utmost importance. Be sure to install the shelf within reach for your little one to encourage easy access when the feeling arises to read a book. Add your child’s favourite books to the shelf and there you go!
Moiks Shelves are equipped with a lip façade, which prevents objects from falling off the shelf. You simply need a drill, an 8 mm drill bit and a screwdriver. We offer two timber options: birch plywood or solid oak. Each Moiks Shelf includes two nail-in anchors and is very easy to install.
After your shelf is in, it’s time to get creative! Place a pillow or two on top of a comfortable rug to create and cosy and comfortable spot. A perfect place to curl up and enjoy a good book!
